A new documentary will pay homage to Houston's skateboard culture by featuring six local skateboarders who grew up riding their decks at the Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark.

"The Gold Line," a short documentary by Lance Childers, will premiere at the MATCH (3400 Main St.) at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2.

Presented in association with Public Use Skateparks for Houston, the film follows Steven Robinson, Max Peterson, Joseph Rodriguez, Deandre Daniels, Colton Dennes and Andrew Wallace as they skate through Houston's iconic areas.

The title references daybreak, when the sun is out but the streets still empty and the skaters have, for a brief moment, an entire city to themselves.

A reception will take place at 7 p.m., one hour before the film.

The event is free and open to the public. Tickets must be reserved via the MATCH website.
